6.9.1807 Carlisles, Buchan & John Flather call / 16.11.1807 Carlisle, Buchan & mrs Topping call / 18.11.1807 Jo(seph) G(odwin) calls, & Buchan (not seen) 

The GD website has a person record for Dr Alexander Peter Buchan (DNB 1764-1824), but the above entries are not coded to him. Although calls on the same day could have been quite separate, the fact that Buchan followed Carlisle on the first two entries above suggests that this was Dr Alexander Buchan, a known associate of Anthony Carlisle, and so presumably was the third entry, only two days later.

The later entries 1827 to 1830 were perhaps James Silk Bockingham (DNB  1786-1855), at a period when he was active in London journalism. In 1807 he was lately married and penniless might well have called on Godwin between his voyages. other possibles in work notes below.

Bullock 4.3.1798 on coach to Bath

A fairly common name met once on a coach would be hardly worth identifying had it not been for his fellow passenger D'Esterre. Captain Henry Bullock of the East India Company ship "United Kingdom" sailed to Madras & Bengal 1801-2, D'Esterre captained the same ship in 1807-9'. Possibly one of 4 Henry Bullocks in PCC wills - 1808 of Stanwell, Middlesex / 1829 of Lambeth / 1831 of Wroughton, Wilts / 1841 of Stanwell, Middlesex

8.3.1792 Bulmer / 10.3.1792 again / 26.3.1792 again / 31.3.1792 again / 16.4.1792 again / 5.5.1792 again / 30.3.1795 again.

These are all calls and appear to be connected to John Cooper and the arrangements for his apprenticeship. On 26.3 and 5.5 Godwin calls on Bulmer immediately after calling on Dorset, who paid the premium for John Cooper's apprenticeship to Spilsbury (see 18.5.92 JC goes to Spilsbury and my earlier para 11/a/b), and on 31.3 Godwin calls on Bulmer with JC. This makes it more likely to be William Bulmer printer of Cleveland Row, St James, later in partnership…
